SPECTRA Advanced Graphics

[LCD]

The point is: ULA+ availablity is reserved for clones atm. I could develop for Pentagon 1024 SL 16c mode because I know how the screen is organised (Retro-X supports this mode), but I want to take my Spectrum to the "Forever" demoparty in Slovakia and show something (And it is not a slideshow by the way). No, not running under emulation or on a FPGA clone like Speccy2020 or similar. I think, Lotharek will show the clone, and maybe I will buy one from him. But the most kudos will be recived for showing something on a real machine. I want to show it on a Spectrum. I cannot do this until ULA+ is available as real drop in replacenent. Thats why I prefer SPECTRA. It works with my Spectrum and I can show something to C64 and Atari XL users. So, now you know why I said that SPECTRA is better than ULA+. You just misinterpreted it because I did not say why. It was meant: For me and my applications. Other coders have different needs. If someomne is developing for emulators and clones, he will be lucky with ULA+. But ULA+ is so not a option for me*.
SPECTRA+ on the other side is available as addon for Spectrum. Hurrah! I can show something on a demo party.
Andrew, maybe you don't remember it, but I wrote Retro-X, so I know the 3-3-2 encoding scheme and how such stuff works. No need to explain me elementary stuff.
Anyway... Less than 2 Months until "Forever" starts, so I cannot wait any longer for ULA+, and SPECTRA offers all I need.
I hope you understand now.
And now:

Looks like we will get some fresh SPECTRA support soon >>happy<<.
